Eric Finlay - Envelope


ericfinlay, originally uploaded by wastedpapiers.

Another envelope from Eric who combined his interest in computer art and mail art in this sending from 1984. Inside are several more photos of monitor and tv screens with cryptic messages on the reverse. One says- "This is from a teaching notebook of 1980. Chelsea (he taught printmaking there) didn't have a computer at the time...so I "simulated" a computer game by cutting up some plastic with a soluble ink on it...and incorporating it in a gravure monotype collage. It got right up the shirt of the people who hated computers!!!"
